Keukasmallies Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 forge a resolution to sequestration. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57570574/obama-reaches-out-to-boehner-mcconnell-on-sequester/ POTUS must be feeling the sweat on the back of his neck because he's using a new tactic: Talking to actual legislators he needs to work with to forge a resolution to the problem; admittedly, not as much fun as name-calling and fist-pumping, but who knows?

B-Large Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Its funny to think 1.2T of spending cuts over a decade, yes10 years, when we run deficits of 1T+ each year is considered devastating... heck, what is that 2-3% of the budget? Hard to believe that is being called draconian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 I agree. The amount begins to fade into the woodwork considering the overall context of money spent along the continuum from ridiculous to "they did what?" Still, it provides a topic to bat across the net several times, always hoping the guy in the other court screws it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tired of hearing how drastic and terrifying these cuts are, for !@#$s sake, if we can't cut 2 percent of a budget when were running trillion dollar deficits and 16 trillion in LTD, we are screwed.... I don care if if its a political loss for Obama, propose some real cut backs and lets get balanced budgets... There is a 75k page tax code ripe with goodies and other nonsense that can be cut... If Obama wants to stick it to the rich, go flat tax... I'm not sure why that notion can't gain more traction.... And that doesn't even get into the big 3, we can cut 15-20 from those program without people dead in the streets, elderly eating dig food or become a third world military power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Yet another media report that fails to report the depth of our budget gap, who signed the sequester deal or the fact that these "cuts" are tiny fractions of our problem. Yet another article that fails to point out that this president thinks only in terms of taxing and spending and cannot grasp to thought of a growing private sector economy. Only clueless voters and an adoring media stand in the way of Obama becoming entirely irrelevant. He may get there soon even with all the unearned support he has.
